    I've spent the better part of six months gathering data and putting together a video about why the small things matter. It included two small things I do in my reloading process that have tangible results, and also included data on the nearly 200 rounds worth of testing I did to support. However, it was way too freaking long, so I split it in two. I just published the first part of the video, and augmented it with some additional content. Sorry, the two small things will have to wait for the second "half" to get edited and augmented :)

    I Like the presentation not sure how you did the case cut out with the powder visual..was it pictures of an actual cut out that you did or was it all drawings?

    It's all separate pictures (case body, case neck, bullet, powder (black), powder (burning) that I layer on top of each other to create the animation. Lots of photoshop work slicing and dicing and layering. The case I found somewhere, though I could have cut a case and taken a pic to get the same - fortunately I did not need to. The bullet came from Berger. I can't remember where I found the powder pic, but they are everywhere. I just created a mask to match the case interior for that one.
